School Notes:  

For NYC In-Person Classes:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

We have a firm 3 business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require 6 business days notice to be rescheduled.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen. Classes are not refundable.

 

For Culinary Boot Camps:

 

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to anyone who misses a single class, no matter the reason, as it happens too often and we cannot handle that volume of make-ups.  Once you book your boot camp, make sure to mark (and prioritize) all the dates in your calendar. 

 

Because we know how disappointing it is to miss a class, you are always welcome to send a friend in your place (just send us their name ahead of class), and perhaps insist that they cook you dinner as repayment.  

 

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

 

Thank you for understanding!

    The class was full of great tips and really laid a solid foundation about best methods of prepping and cooking. The science of cooking was a fresh way to approach the meal. A nice blend of relaxed hands-on experience and rigor. Al really connected with the group and left me—and others—wanting to explore more.

    This class was great! The teacher was informative, patient, knowledgeable and funny. I feel that I have a much better grasp on basic cooking techniques that I did not understand prior to the class. I look forward to taking a class with them again.

    Chef Susan’s class was amazing! Fun, informative and delicious! We learned about knives and skills to use them (bear claw). We then proceeded to cook fresh vegetables and chicken. We all participated and then sat down to eat our creation. I highly recommend this course for beginners (or anyone)! Chef Susan was knowledgeable, funny and very patient with her sous-chefs. Can’t wait to take another class (which I will be taking the dumpling class in October)!

    Thoroughly enjoyable. Great teacher, full of information, and really engaging. My absolutely only suggestion would be to ask people to introduce themselves before the class begins so there is a bit more camaraderie. But a fantastic class.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students who took the Six Basic Cooking Techniques class rave about their engaging and informative teachers, stressing how helpful they found this course's hands-on, interactive learning method. They appreciate the simple, yet diverse, array of skills taught. Students praised lessons in knife skills and proper seasoning and how to tell when a pan is hot. Many mentioned having a newfound confidence in their abilities and were eager to immediately apply their knowledge. Participants particularly valued the advice given on preparing food faster and easier. Students also stated they had a great time and enjoyed bonding with fellow participants over the meal they prepared. Quotes: 1. “The teaching was excellent. The physical space was amazing. And the food was delicious. I will definitely sign up for more courses.” 2. "She was a great teacher, and we enjoyed learning from her. The school is small, with a maximum of 10 students in a class. This allows it to be intimate, so you get to know the people you're spending the next 3 hours with, and that adds to the interest and fun." 3. "Knowing how to use a chef knife correctly is life changing. I cook a lot of vegetable dishes and this will make preparing food faster, easier, and more enjoyable."
